A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass.

Verse 9 is found in chapter 8 of Deuteronomy. Moses interprets the forty years in the wilderness as a period of testing and formation. Hunger, manna, and daily dependence taught Israel that life is sustained not only by food but by the word of God. Entering a fertile land must not cause Israel to forget the lessons learned during scarcity.

ein Land, da du Brot genug zu essen hast, da dir nichts mangelt; ein Land, des Steine Eisen sind, da du Erz aus den Bergen hauest.
Tierra en la cual no comerás el pan con escasez, no te faltará nada en ella; tierra que sus piedras son hierro, y de sus montes cortarás metal.
tierra donde no comerás el pan con escasez y donde nada te faltará; tierra cuyas piedras son hierro y de cuyos montes extraerás cobre.
pays où tu mangeras du pain avec abondance, où tu ne manqueras de rien; pays dont les pierres sont du fer, et des montagnes duquel tu tailleras l'airain.
paese nel quale tu non mangerai il pane scarsamente, nel quale non ti mancherà nulla; paese, le cui pietre sono ferro, e da’ cui monti tu caverai il rame
Terra em que comerás o pão sem escassez, e nada te faltará nela; terra cujas pedras são ferro, e de cujos montes tu cavarás o cobre.
那地沒有缺乏,你在那裏有食物吃,一無所缺;那地的石頭是鐵,山中可以挖銅。
